If you are a manager with reportees, other Fuse users can request that you become their manager. If a user sends you a request to become their manager, you will receive a notification in which you can approve or decline it. If the Reportee requests widget is enabled on the Manager/Reportee screen, you can approve or decline these requests directly in the Reportee requests widget. 

The Reportee requests widget also displays a list of your current reportees. 

This widget can be added to the following pages in Design Studio: 

  • Default Manager Dashboard: Used to configure the default layout for the Manager/Reportee screen, viewable to all managers who do not have access to a manager-specific dashboard. 

  • Manager Specific Dashboard: Used to configure a manager-specific layout for the Manager/Reportee screen, based on custom profile fields.

You can send a manager request to a Fuse user by entering their name in the Manager field in your profile.  

Approving a manager request in the widget

To approve a manager request: 

Click the tick icon next to the user's name. 

The user becomes your reportee and their name is added to the list of reportees within the widget. 

When you approve the request, the user is notified.

Declining a manager request in the widget

To decline a manager request: 

Click the cross icon next to the user's name. 

The reportee request is declined and the request is removed from the widget.
